Pointless Thread Rule amendment

[Zeta333]

13.6.2. Pointless threads
"Which class should I roll?" is a frequently reoccurring thread.

There is no real discussion to be had about which class any individual should play. This is a very personal decision and all anyone can really do is post their personal favourites over and over again.

If you wish to find out more information about specific classes, feel free to browse our Class Forums. You can also try to use the forum's search function if you have a specific question about a class.

Other examples of pointless threads include, but are not limited to:
Which race should I roll?
Which faction is better for me?
Which is the best PvE/PvP/... realm?
Looking for RAF partner

Id like to see an amendment to this rule for the VG forum sake. About once every 2 days we see a new thread in there " What game should i buy" "Looking for a new game". Not only is this really pointless but the responses are limitless. I personally feel it falls under the same category as the "what class should i roll" and should just be locked or removed.

I could get behind this, as long as people are still allowed to ask opinions about games and such (in their megathread or, if one doesn't exist, a new thread.)

Or, perhaps instead of making it bannable, we could make a recommended games list sticky, lock threads like this and refer them to the sticky?

Have to agree, it's getting pretty annoying.

In this case I think that type of discussion is a little different than class discussion -- people know all the classes of WoW and have to make up their own mind, but it's very possible that they haven't heard of a great game.

A megathread might be a nice idea, though.
